A lightning-quick tribute to the original game. Full acknowledgements to Will Crowther 1976 and Don Woods 1977 for "Colossal Cave Adventure", which started this genre of games. Tiny cave hint: The keywords always appear at locations 3 and 6. Thankfully; keywords only appear on the main path in all caves.
A single button game to land your spacecraft on the planet Cringeworthy. Fuel supply is a moderate concern. Starting parameters are randomized each round: - fuel from 1 to 4. Shown at start of round. 4 is tight but doable. - height - initial speed - gravity. Only 2 choices, light (4 units/sec sq.) or heavy (6 units/sec sq.) Crew of 13, maximum ship's health is 8. Engine thrust acceleration is 11 units/sec sq., before gravity. End of game displays "8 13 " - a safe/perfect landing "5 7 4" - ship damaged, 7 astronauts OK, 4 injured. ( Looks like you lost 2 )

End of game displays
"8 13 " - a safe/perfect landing
"5 7 4" - ship damaged, 7 astronauts OK, 4 injured. ( 2 not so lucky )
